Matthew Weasley Chp. 14

Instructions

Okay, okay, I know that we have no idea who Calypso Black is or if she could actually help us, but sometimes you have to take a chance, so that's what we did. But before she told us anything, Harry insisted we move to a safer place where we won't be overheard. "So, Calypso, what house are you in? You're certainly not wearing your robes." I said, as we walked in a small clump. Harry, Ron, Havi, Asher, Logan, Teddy, Isabella, Emily, Me and lastly bringing up the rear, Calypso. "I'm in Gryffindor, though people have told me I have many Slytherin traits. Hufflepuff, I presume?" She told me. "Well, yes, it is obvious, is it not?" I said. "True. So, how long have you been at Hogwarts? I haven't really seen you around." Calypso asked. //Ah man! How am I gonna answer that!?// "Well, you are a few years above me, and you are in a different house, so you probably just haven't seen me." I said. "Yeah, that makes sense." Calypso said, holding the door to the girls' lavatory. We all filed inside and Harry found a spot on the floor for all of them. "So, this is where we all used the Ply Juice potion." Harry explained. "Alright, Calypso, you can tell us what you want." Just then a ghost with black hair in two pony tails, an old Ravenclaw uniform, glasses, and terrible acne flew over them in circles. "Harry Potter, came back to my bathroom!" She said. Ron leaned over to Teddy, Havi and I. "That's Moaning Myrtle." He said. I nodded. "Yes, Myrtle, now we need to discuss something important." Harry said. "Oh, not to worry, you'll never know I'm here. I'll be like. . . a ghost!" With that, she flew away, sobbing. "Don't mind her, she's like that all the time." Isabella told us. "As I was saying, Calypso can you tell us what you know?" Harry asked. "Sure. The snake-engraved faucet is the third one to the left if you look at them from the door. Will that help you?" She told Harry. "Okay, let me see here." Harry got up and stood in the doorway. He counted with his finger three over. "It should be that one." He said. Ron got up to examine the faucet. I watched as he grazed his fingers over the whole metal overhand. "It's here!" He said. Everyone got up and went to see for themselves. I looked at the snake engraved upon the metal. It was a snake that looked to be tied around itself, and its fangs were bared in a hiss. "This has to be it."
